So tell me...
if we buy Curry out, how's that work in terms of our cap space. I think it's counted but probably reduced while opening another roster spot?
where's our Capologist?
give us a break down please.
Holy sh*t!!!!! This is great news!!
We probably won't buy out Curry now because we have more than enough cap space to get two max contracts without having to buy him out. We can now reserve the option of trading his expiring contract for another player.
But since you asked. Typically teams buy out players for a negotiated amount. This amount can be the full salary but many times it is less. This saves the franchise money and allows the bought out player to pursue another contract.
Most people assumed, if we bought out Curry, that it would be for $1-3 mil below what he is guaranteed. This would have given us another $1-3 mil in cap space.
Make sense?
Could the stars be aligning for Lebron? I know the NBA wants Lebron in NYC.
I always said that Stern probably had a secret meeting with Lebron and his agent some time in early 2008 to discuss the possibility of becoming a Knick.It all seems to coincidental for the Knicks to go from having the highest payroll in the NBA to being the team with the most cap room in such a quick amount of time.I say Lebron is a Knick before July 8th.
I'll wager that he isn't...
I'll wager that the Craptors have seen Bosh for the last time in a purple gay Barny uniform. BTW...lol at not making the playoffs after all the shit you talked. :teeth:
Even though I was really looking forward for a response to my post, I find this post hilarious.:teeth:

Or we can just let it expire and save it for the next crop of FAs.

I'll be the first to say the Raptors sucked a@@ this year Turk was a bust yada yada being a Knick fan you can empathize with this... you've had bust after bust for a better part of a decade...and hey if he goes he goes... trust me wherever he goes we will get maximum value for him... unfortunately you guys don't have the horses to trade, MIA and CHI are a more likely destination, as Bosh stated he is willing to work with BC should a sign and trade happen BTW lol for 9 losing seasons... NINE LOSING SEASONS.. Highest payroll and nothing to show for it, but we don't need the re-hash the past. I wish the Knicks all the best in the future except when playing the Raps.
I can re-late to you guys from the perspective of being a Knicks fan is the same as being a Maple Leafs fan;
Rabid fan base (sellout for 20 yrs 20,000 peeps on waiting list for seasons tickets as well as being the most expensive ticket in the game/.league)
Most valuable franchise in the league
every big name free agent always rumored to come here
top five in payroll
signed the wrong big name free agents
traded away draft picks for aging veterans based on names
futility since 67
direct parallel with the Knicks
Good luck to you trill and the Knicks in 2010. I'll be back in July either to laugh at or congratulate you.
